The Disappearance of Azusa Miura: Network Post [Voice] (Fwd Dated to the 7th)

[mythmaker]

[The morning of July 7th, everyone’s slates receive an audio message. At first, there’s only static and the sound of someone tapping the screen as if they’re trying to turn on video but are unable to. There’s a gentle sigh of frustration followed by a gasp as the owner realizes it’s on.]

Ah...! Hello? Hello? This is Azusa...that’s to say, I’m Azusa, um...I don’t know how long I have, ever since I dropped this in the water on the way over.

[The voice is a little hard to hear, but that should explain it: water damage.]

I haven’t seen anyone in a long time...I was trying to reunite a lost child with her mother, but we ended up finding her on an airship...and then her father was on a fishing boat...and I’m not sure where I am anymore. Goodness, what am I going to do?

[She taps the screen again, trying to turn on video, but there’s no luck here.]

I’m not far from the beach, but...it’s too late at night for me to be watching for ships. And...there’s really no one here, is there? What am I...

[And with one last, loud bust of static, the message ends.

Replies will come after she’s been rescued and her slate has been repaired.]

[Video #1] Of coffee Shops

[regalblaze]

[The feed opens on... nothing. A blank, white wall. There is a lot of shuffling in the background, people speaking and footsteps going back and forth. Finally the feed moves away from the wall and shows blaring, white light of the outside, blinding the screen for a moment until it finally focuses on the entrance door.

Tall, young man stands at the door, in striped white and blue shirt, talking to someone, and holding a medium-sized box. The feed then slowly moves away from him to give a shot of the inside of the room. There is still a bit of a mess, chairs, and boxes around, but the small coffee shop is finally taking its shape. There are no customers still, of course, but it looks as the place will soon be open.

The feed starts moving now, moving from place to place, zooming in on the random potted plants, the cookie and cake displays (still empty, unfortunately), then a bigger pastry display, on the box with barista uniforms in the corner, then on cute wooden jars that will hold coffee in the future.]

Ebony! What are you doing?

[There is a loud squeak, the feed shakes and then focuses on Ignis walking up to the Moogle that was recording everything around the shop.]

Making memories, kupo! You're opening soon, right?! Right!!

We have a lot of work to do, [Ignis sighs and sets the box he was holding on the bar and then reaches for the slate. There seems to be a tug-o-war between the two but, of course, Ignis wins in the end and the feed just shows a vase of flowers.]

Please focus on cleaning up.
